Detecting DNA Mutations: Hands-on Variant Analysis using Galaxy (Beginner-Friendly)

This intensive online workshop focuses on detecting DNA mutations through standard modern bioinformatics pipelines. Participants will dive directly into real-world dataset evaluation to master hands-on variant analysis using the open-source Galaxy platform. The curriculum covers the entire genomic pipeline from processing raw sequencing reads to isolating complex genetic polymorphisms and variants. By leveraging algorithmic workflows and digital data-mapping logic, you will learn how to automate sequence alignment and filtering steps. This training bridges the gap between massive molecular data streams and actionable biological insights without needing a programming background. You will discover how to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and disease-causing genomic anomalies efficiently. By the end of this session, you will possess a clear understand of how computational tools index structural biological alterations. Elevate your bioinformatics expertise, understand machine-readable data structures, and accelerate your life science research insights.
